Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend Micro 17 Microcentrifuge with 24-place Fixed-angle Rotor

The Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend Micro 17 Centrifuge is a high-performance microcentrifuge designed for precise microliter-volume separations, widely used in molecular biology, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics. It delivers a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 17,000 × g and operates within a speed range of 300 to 13,300 rpm, ensuring effective separation of DNA, RNA, and protein samples crucial for gene editing and molecular cloning workflows.

This benchtop centrifuge features a brushless motor and microprocessor-controlled drive, providing exceptional rotor speed consistency and reproducible results critical for synthetic biology and molecular diagnostics. The ergonomic design includes a digital interface, auto-lock lid, and ultra-quiet operation (<56 dBA), making it ideal for shared lab environments and bioprocessing facilities demanding low noise and safety compliance.

Equipped with a 24-place fixed-angle rotor, the unit supports high-throughput sample processing essential for biomanufacturing and biomedical research applications. Its compact footprint (14 × 9 × 9 inches) and lightweight build (23 lbs) facilitate ease of integration into standard laboratory workflows focused on fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging preparation.

Included are the centrifuge unit, fixed-angle rotor with lid, user manual, and power cord, all pre-calibrated and speed-validated to assure immediate deployment. The centrifuge is powered by 120V, 60Hz, 2.6A electrical specification, meeting common laboratory infrastructure. This equipment plays a critical role in the biotechnology sector, providing stable acceleration, temperature control, and repeatable separation performance foundational for biopharmaceutical production pipelines and molecular biology research.
